Fresh Start

[RabbitLorna]

I know exercise makes me feel happier and more confident, and I know yoga gets rid of all the little aches and pains that my body seems to acquire, but so far I haven't managed to get a routine to stick.

So, I'm hoping that setting clear and specific goals, and starting a new log, will help me get there!

Year-long goals:
Lose 52lbs over the year
Follow the Vego meal plan, eat way more fruit and veg, drink enough water, and cut out caffeine.
Exercise every day for at least 10 mins - I'm going to do Age of Pandora because it's always been calling out to me
Yoga with Adriene every day to get rid of all the little aches and pains and to de-stress.

[I'm excluding holidays - if I have any, and days when there's emergencies - hopefully 2021 will have less of them for me!]

Mid-term goals:
Lose 13lbs by the end of March
Finish Age of Pandora by end of March

Short-term goals:
Lose 4lbs by the end of January
Hit 30 days of continuous exercise!
Work up to 20 meals a week with the vego meal plan over the next month.

Current Weight: 107kg / 16st 13lbs / 237lbs

Day 1:
Yoga with Adriene
Age of Pandora - Chapter 1 - Level I

Day 2:
Yoga with Adriene - Breath - Day 1
Age of Pandora - Chapter 2 - Part I Level III / Part II Level I

Great goals.

[RabbitLorna]

gck thank you! I've been enjoying the Breath series so far, and it's shown me just how much tension I carry in my neck and shoulders

ReaDiMarco CaptainCanuck thank you! I'm really hoping that having actual goals will make this easier to achieve!

Anek you too! that's an adorable little bun


I'm loving Age of Pandora, and I'm hoping this is the extra motivation I need to get me through the first few months of the year!

Age of Pandora - Chapter 3 - Level II

[Fremen]

Age of Pandora is a very fun and exciting program if you get into the mood

[RabbitLorna]

Fremen Age of Pandora has really grabbed my attention, and I think that's the extra motivation that I need to get back into exercising! I also like that it has a walk/run component so I can get outside (if there's not too much ice around )

Day 4:
Age of Pandora - Chapter 4 - Level III
Yoga with Adriene - Breath - Day 4

[RabbitLorna]

Day 5:
Age of Pandora - Chapter 5

Day 7:
Yoga with Adriene - Breath - Day 7
Age of Pandora - Chapter 7
- 3.8 km walk plus 460 march steps (it's less of an ice rink out there, but it was still hard going!)
- Level III for the workout

[RabbitLorna]

Busy day filled with last-minute things for tomorrow's work event, but I managed to squeeze in a little bit of exercise! Thankfully today's chapter was a short one

Day 8:
Yoga with Adriene - 7 Minute Bedtime Yoga
Age of Pandora - Chapter 8 - Level I

[RabbitLorna]

The event went well, but it was a busy time so I had to fit exercise in where I could, and then it took me three days to recover from it all! I'm hoping to get back to a chapter a day from now on

Weight: 107 kg / 16st 12lbs / 236lbs
Vego meals last week: 6

Day 9:

- 600 march steps travelling from Lighthouse towards Resistance Camp

Day 10:
Yoga with Adriene

Yoga with Adriene
Age of Pandora - Chapter 9

Age of Pandora - Chapter 10
- 200 march steps from Mines to the Mountain Cave

Day 13:

[RabbitLorna]

So, getting back into a chapter a day has been a little bit harder than I thought it would be, especially with the ice and snow outside making walking slower (but I am really enjoying the time outside!)
But I'm still exercising every day and that's a win!

These days have flown by and I can't believe I've got to 15 days of continuous exercise already!
